I am a property owner. Should I buy property insurance policy?
Purchasing rental property insurance is one of the most important step to take before renting your home. In addition to the things covered in a typical homeowner’s policy, landlord insurance will protect you from major damage done by tenants, as well as from legal actions they may take against you. Be aware, though, that rental property insurance will not cover your tenant’s personal property—they’ll need to purchase rental insurance to cover their belongings.

Where can I get lease agreement?
A real estate lawyer can help ensure that your lease agreement does not contain any illegal provisions, while also protecting you from the financial harm that could result from tenants exploiting loopholes in your agreement. A good lease agreement will specify the ways tenants can and cannot use the property, how many people can occupy the rental, what insurance is required, who is responsible for paying utilities, and what will happen if the tenant doesn’t uphold his or her obligations.

Should I get my property inspected before tenant moves in?
Having your property inspected by a professional will help you fix any critical maintenance issues before your tenant moves in. This will help protect you from potential legal issues, while also saving you from having to answer multiple maintenance phone calls within the first few weeks of renting your property. Having home inspections both before a tenant moves in and after he or she moves out will also provide third-party documentation of any damage caused by the tenant.

What you should know about rental agreements
A rental agreement, or lease, is a contract between a landlord and a tenant. The landlord grants the tenant the right to occupy a rental unit. In return the tenant commits to paying rent. The contract may also include other terms or rules. When you sign a rental agreement, you're agreeing to respect those terms or rules.
A written rental agreement is an official record of what you and the landlord have agreed to. If there's a dispute later, the rental agreement may help to settle it.
If this is your first time renting, your landlord may ask for a guarantor. This is someone who agrees to pay the rent if you can’t. If you need a guarantor, the landlord will have them sign an agreement that describes their responsibilities.

What your rental agreement includes
• The landlord’s and tenant’s names, addresses and contact information
• The rental term, the length of time you agree to stay in the rental unit before ending your rental agreement
• The monthly rent amount
• The date you must pay rent
• Services, such as electricity or parking
• Any separate charges
• The conditions for the termination of a rental agreement
• When the landlord can increase the rent and by how much
• The deposit amount and any conditions
• The rules that the landlord requires all tenants to follow
